The DC3/C47/Dakota ailerons are rigged to give 7/8" droop at control wheel neutral to offset the tendency for them to rise in flight. There are no physical bellcrank control limit stops. Very simply (!) put, the throws are adjusted by using the inner set of cable turnbuckles in the wings (tighten one, loosen the other). Then the cables between the inner and outer control rod bellcranks have to be adjusted. On top of this, the tensions must be within limits! You can end up chasing your tail sometimes as one adjustment can affect another. It's at least a day's work to correctly rig the system from scratch.
Small Cessna aileron rigging is kid's stuff in comparison.
